Seasons
Season 1
A drama series that follows the adventures of a gang of dustbin men as they face the realities of privatisation. They're a wild bunch, a law unto themselves. But with the local people thinking they would be better off with a private company, the last thing the boys should do is put a powerful nose out of joint.
Season 2
The binmen gather to give Nev a good retirement send-off, fully aware that their business is under threat and they may have to find new ways to survive.
